Concert Choir, Orchestra Perform for For Immediate Release:  RICHMOND, Ind. — Enjoy an evening of choral and instrumental music as the Earlham College Concert Choir, Madrigal Singers and Orchestra perform during Earlham's Family Weekend Concert on Saturday, Oct. 6. The music begins at 7:30 p.m. in Carpenter Hall's Goddard Auditorium. The concert is free and open to the public. The Concert Choir opens the evening with a signature arrangement of How Can I Keep from Singing? The choir's varied repertoire then includes a vibrant Maori welcome song, a traditional African American spiritual (There Is a Balm in Gilead), a contemporary rhythmic Eastern European Cantate Domino, a contemplative Renaissance Agnus Dei by Tomás Luis de Victoria, and the driving Salmo 150 by Brazilian composer Ernani Aguiar. The Concert Choir is directed by Dan Graves, professor of music, and assisted by Noah DeLong, assistant choral director. Accompanist for the Concert Choir is Caryl Bailey. The Earlham Madrigal Singers offers four numbers ranging from 16th-century madrigals to 20th-century selections by Menotti and Vaughan Williams. Following a brief intermission, the Earlham Orchestra — conducted by Wei Cheng, visiting assistant professor of music — concludes the evening with Jean Sibelius' lush and moving Finlandia and Georges Bizet's entertaining and exciting five-movement Carmen Suite No. 1. A reception to meet the performers will follow the concert. — EC — Contact:
